Sani was previously handed an 11 month suspension which ended on Tuesday, 29th November 2016.
A similar suspension by the faction in December last year was declared null and void by the national secretariat of the party.
Led by the ward secretary, Awwal Abdulhamid, the faction on Tuesday said Mr. Sani did not show any remorse after his previous suspension.
“As you are aware, your suspension from the party for a period of eleven months elapsed today, being Tuesday 29th November, 2016.
“The suspension which was in line with the constitution of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), was to enable you to defend yourself against illegalities committed by you against the party as well as breach of its constitution.
“We expected the period of your suspension to give you the grace of being remorseful, but you rather choose to play otherwise, and this made our party to be vulnerable to disunity, disharmony and further shattering the existing peace mechanism within our ward and the state at large.
“Therefore, in consideration of the constitutional provisions as contained in Article 21 (A) i, ii, iii, v, vi, and vii of the constitution of the All Progressives Congress (APC), you are hereby suspended indefinitely from active participation of APC activities. This is in conformity with article 21 (D) i-(F) which provides punishment for any erring member of the party,” they said.
The suspension order was signed by 17 executive members of the ward.
